Sustainability at Best Buy

Together, we can create a more sustainable planet.

Best Buy is helping to make a positive impact on the planet by offering eco-friendly products that conserve resources, Geek Squad Total Tech Support and repair services that extend the useful life of products, and recycling and trade-in programs that help keep products out of landfills.

As part of our commitment to the environment, we’ve established the following long-term goals for our company and our customers:

Sustainability is part of our ecosystem.

What you buy matters.

By offering a broad selection of ENERGY STAR certified electronics and appliances, as well as sustainable eco-friendly products, we can help you to conserve energy and natural resources while saving you money. Another way to help the sustainability effort is to shop for deals in the Best Buy Outlet. Here, you can save on pre-owned products, restored and verified to work, or choose refurbished items, repaired and restored to a like-new state. Plus, you’ll find great deals on open-box and clearance-priced tech.

When it’s time to part ways, we can help you do it responsibly.

The bottom line is, by partnering we can keep more e-waste out of landfills. If your used tech still has value, you can trade it in for a Best Buy Gift Card, giving your tech a second life. If it doesn’t have trade-in value, we’ll recycle virtually any used electronics or appliances responsibly, regardless of where you bought it. Then, materials from the recycling process are made into new products, like circuit boards, construction materials, and even new electronics, like printers.

Reduce your carbon footprint with sustainable tech.

You may already know that Best Buy offers a huge variety of ENERGY STAR certified electronics and appliances. But we also offer a broad selection of eco-friendly product categories that promote sustainability both inside and outside the home. We’re here to serve you with everything from renewable energy products such as solar panels, to green transportation, eco-friendly kitchen and garden, outdoor recreation and more.

From appliances to home entertainment and much more, we’ve got a full array of ENERGY STAR certified products that save you money by conserving energy.

We’re working together to reduce tons of e-waste.

Here’s how we can partner together to keep more products out of landfills.

Trade it in.

Millions of used electronics were traded in last year across the globe, diverting them from landfills and giving that technology a second life. You can help these sustainability efforts by trading in your used tech for a Best Buy Gift Card. Use the trade-in value estimator on our Best Buy Trade-In page to find out what your products are worth.

Recycle it.

If your used tech has no trade-in value, we’ll help you recycle it responsibly, regardless of where you bought it. As the nation’s largest retail collector, to date we’ve collected a combined total of more than 2 billion pounds of electronics and appliances for recycling. It’s all part of our continued commitment to working with our customers to keep old tech and appliances out of landfills.
